Default Broken HDX card - SOLVED!

So...yesterday morning the power socket for my HDX card ripped off of its mounting 😿



It looks like it shouldn't be a difficult repair, but I'm wondering if it's possible, or worth it at this point?

I got the card used in 2013, so it's had a good run and was always a bit overpowered/difficult for my use cases.

Yeah, that's what I figured. I have a few people to ask...

Thanks! That looks like the right part but I will check w/ my audio-electronics-hardware friends for confirmation. Yes it's more than $0.50 but still so much less than an HDX card that it's worth getting two just in case ��

Well, this story has a happy ending! I was able to identify and get the part (two just in case), and a good friend of mine was able to do the repair quickly. The system is back up and running. Thanks again for the advice and encouragement.
